| �Umm�She�s heading out the door.�
Anne ran to Helene and when she got closer she could hear her sobs. She immediately imagined what she had just seen and as she got closer put an arm around her. �Helene?� �What�s wrong?� �What�s wrong? Did you not see what I just saw? I mean you were right there.� �Oh, but I guess you are just protecting your friend.� �What?!� �Come here. I want to show you something.� Anne took Helene by the hand and led her to the employee cafeteria where Hank and Ashley were having lunch. �Helene, nothing is going on between them. They�ve been friends for a long time.� �Really? But I saw them.� �They flirt like that all the time. It�s never led to anything, it�s just the way they are.� They walked into the cafeteria and they spotted Hank and Ashley sitting close to the door. They stood in the doorway for a while and listened to the conversation. �Oh Hank it�s beautiful!!!� Ashley put her hands over her mouth and started to laugh. Helene tried to crane her neck so she could see what Ashley was talking about, but was frozen still with what she heard next. �Will you marry me?� �What?!!� Helene and Anne whispered. �Oh Hank!!� That was about all Helene could take. She turned around and left the cafeteria with Anne close at her heals. �Helene wait.� �What for? I thought you said they were only friends!!� �They are!!!� �Not from what I just heard. I should have known you were just protecting your friend!!� With that said she stormed out of the hospital leaving Anne with her jaw opened. Meanwhile back at the Sully home things weren�t going so great. Michaela was showing more signs of pregnancy. She still got morning sickness, but now the mood swings had kicked in. The kids were still in school so it was just her and Sully, and they were eating lunch. Michaela was never one to eat a heavy lunch. In fact Sully would sometimes have to make her eat more. Now her appetite had increased and she had gotten some of the weirdest cravings he�d ever heard of. Her craving for today was poached eggs covered in oatmeal and jelly. Sully watched her as she sunk her teeth into it enjoying every bite. He was eating a sandwich, but when he saw what she was eating his appetite disappeared. �Michaela how can you eat that? It�s so disgusting?� �It doesn�t taste all that bad.� �Michaela�I�m not too sure about that.� �Look, you don�t have to eat it! I�m not making you eat it!� �That�s true, but I do have to sit here and watch you eat it.� �Well then if that�s a problem I�ll just leave!� |
